Hooter is back

Heard the great horned owl in the back yard this last weekend. As usual, I couldn't get a shot of him in the dark, but I did get these shots of a GHO at the Aquarium in Vancouver. This was an injured captive female used for public outreach.







We were in Vancouver for our Honeymoon, Aug. 11-15. These we're taken on the 12th.








































The next day we went on a whale watching boat ride down to Victoria. As we got close to Victoria, we wound through some of the coastal islands. That's where I got these shots of Bald Eagles.












































Those were the most exotic. The most common were the Glaucous-Winged Gull and the American Crow. Pictured below.


































Also saw a female mallard, a mute swan, canada geese, a black-capped chickadee and some common loons. All of which are pictured except the loons as they came out pretty fuzzy.
